Abstract

Provided are a method and apparatus for determining a transport block size (TBS) when transmitting a transport block through a PUSCH by applying transport block processing over multiple slots (TBoMS) in a wireless communication system. The UE determines the TBS based on the number of resource elements (N RE ) allocated for the PUSCH, in this case, considers the number of slots for the TBoMS.

Claims (59)

1. A method of transmitting a transport block (TB) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving downlink control information (DCI);

determining a transport block size (TBS) of the TB; and

transmitting the TB having the TBS through a plurality of slots for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) scheduled by the DCI,

wherein the TBS is determined based on a number of resource elements (REs) allocated for the PUSCH (N RE ),

wherein the N RE is determined based on a following equation,

N RE =N·min(156, N′ RE )·n PRB , where the N denotes a number of the plurality of slots, the N′ RE denotes a number of resource elements allocated for PUSCH within a physical resource block, and the n PRB denotes a number of allocated physical resource blocks for the UE.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission of the PUSCH through the N slots is repeated K times.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein a same symbol allocation is applied to each of a number of slots (N·K) obtained by multiplying the N and the K related to repeated transmission of the PUSCH.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein a slot, in which at least one of symbols to be used for repeated transmission of the PUSCH overlaps with a downlink symbol indicated by a higher layer configuration or a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB) symbol, is not counted in the number of the N·K slots.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein depending on whether the transport block is transmitted in a plurality of slots or is transmitted in one slot, a formula for determining the number of resource elements allocated for the PUSCH (N RE ), which is used to determine the TBS, is different.

6. An apparatus configured to control a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled with the processor,

wherein the processor is adapted to:

determine a transport block size (TBS) of a transport block (TB); and

transmit the TB having the TBS through a plurality of slots for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH),

wherein the TBS is determined based on a number of resource elements (REs) allocated for the PUSCH (N RE ),

wherein the N RE is determined based on a following equation,

N RE =N·min(156, N′ RE )·n PRB , where the N denotes a number of the plurality of slots, the N′ RE denotes a number of resource elements allocated for PUSCH within a physical resource block, and the n PRB denotes a number of allocated physical resource blocks for the UE.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , the processor is further adapted to:

receive downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling the PUSCH,

wherein a time domain resource assignment (TDRA) field included in the DCI informs of a specific row of a resource assignment table, and

wherein the specific row comprises information about the N.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the specific row further informs of a slot offset between the DCI and the PUSCH, a start symbol and allocation length of the PUSCH, a mapping type of the PUSCH, and a number of repetitions (K) to be applied to a transmission of the PUSCH.

9. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the transmission of the PUSCH through the N slots is repeated K times.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein a same symbol allocation is applied to each of a number of slots (N·K) obtained by multiplying the N and the K related to repeated transmission of the PUSCH.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein a slot, in which at least one of symbols to be used for repeated transmission of the PUSCH overlaps with a downlink symbol indicated by a higher layer configuration or a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB) symbol, is not counted in the number of the N·K slots.

12. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein depending on whether the transport block is transmitted in a plurality of slots or is transmitted in one slot, a formula for determining the number of resource elements allocated for the PUSCH (N RE ), which is used to determine the TBS, is different.

13. A base station (BS) comprising:

a transceiver for transmitting and receiving a radio signal; and

a processor operating in connected to the transceiver,

wherein the processor is adapted to:

transmit downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to a user equipment (UE); and

receive a transport block (TB) having a specific transport block size (TB S) from the UE through a plurality of slots for the PUSCH,

wherein the TBS is determined based on a number of resource elements (REs) allocated for the PUSCH (N RE ),

wherein the N RE is determined based on a following equation,

N RE =N·min(156, N′ RE )·n PRB , where the N denotes a number of the plurality of slots, the N RE denotes a number of resource elements allocated for PUSCH within a physical resource block, and the n PRB denotes a number of allocated physical resource blocks for the UE,

wherein a time domain resource assignment (TDRA) field included in the DCI informs of a specific row of a resource allocation table, and

wherein the specific row comprises information for the number of the plurality of slots (N).

14. The BS of claim 13 , wherein the specific row further information for a slot offset between the DCI and the PUSCH, a start symbol and allocation length of the PUSCH, a mapping type of the PUSCH, and a number of repetitions (K) to be applied to a transmission of the PUSCH.

15. The BS of claim 13 , wherein a same symbol allocation is applied to each of a number of slots (N·K) obtained by multiplying the N and the K related to repeated transmission of the PUSCH.

16. The BS of claim 15 , wherein a slot, in which at least one of symbols to be used for repeated transmission of the PUSCH overlaps with a downlink symbol indicated by a higher layer configuration or a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB) symbol, is not counted in the number of the N·K slots.
